In this episode we're going to recap the history of Armor Class and Attack Bonuses from 1st Edition of D&D through 5th edition.

We'll start by scratching our heads at the earliest mechanics for determining whether a weapon connected with the enemy.
Once we're done with that, we'll try to explain THAC0 to each other.
Then we'll review how Armor Class and THAC0 evolved into the d20 system.
A system that has become the core to D&D since the year 2000.

All in all, D&D has come quite a long way and I am very grateful for the progress.
Because I do not want to deal with 8 different charts just to hit an orc with a sword.
